Then, he also assumed that she wasn't wearing glasses at the time of the killing, but that assumption was based on the fact that he himself does not wear his glasses to bed. So, I think that juror 4 did make certain assumptions, but quite a few of those assumptions were based on what he believed to be the facts.
4. When Juror 8 was the only one voting "not guilty", he took a gamble by asking all the other jurors to vote and if all else voted "guilty", he too would change his vote to guilty. Juror 9 was the one who voted "not guilty", and I think the gamble that juror 8 took was not based on logic. He also provokes juror 3 into a rage so that he says that he will kill juror 8, proving how such a statement can have different meanings. The last thing that he did that was not based on logic was when he baited juror 3 into saying that the old man could not be certain about anything. Juror 8 did not know exactly what he was going to say, so I think it was not entirely based on logic.
5. People attach meanings, assumptions and prejudices to names. I think Reginald Rose did not give names to the jurors to prevent the audience and the readers from attaching those prejudices, meanings and assumptions to the given names. I think he also did this so that there is little or no assumptions made of certain jurors by other jurors in the book. I think this is done to try to level out the playing field, by taking away the one thing people might associate with a person without truly knowing them. This prevents people in the book who are prone to make assumptions of others, such as juror 10, from making further assumptions.
6. "Blind Justice" is the theory that justice does not discriminate against race, color and appearance, and only focuses on what is presented as the facts. This is significant in the play for a number of reasons, one being the prejudices of Juror 10 against people from slum areas. He assumed that all people from slum areas are compulsive liars, and should not be trusted.
